Lemtrada- apparently the best in UK?
but what is it? (as Cat would say)
I noticed US-Emma (I would tag but not sure how! sorry) in a different conversation stated that Lemtrada and one other medication are offered in the Uk for early cases and it's the best available. I am in the UK and have not been offered these, I am due to start Rebif. Am I missing out on a better medication or is Lemtrada for specific cases? Is anyone else on Rebif here?
I've just read the replies to an earlier conversation about Lemtrada, strange that my nurse or neuro never even mentioned it, when she's back from her holiday I may ask about it, in the meantime I hope they finally sort my rebif medication.
@Baobab , Lemtrada has only just been approved for use in the UK. And, unfortunately, the NHS aren't going to go out of their way to offer a more expensive treatment. But, have a read of this:- http://multiple-sclerosis-research.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/clinicspeak-natalizumab-or-alemtuzumab.html
